Paragraph 67, (2019/11/26)
The present invention relates to dye compounds represented by Formulae I and II, which are described in the specification. The dye compounds of the present invention have markedly improved quantum yields and emit strong fluorescence compared to existing cyanine dyes. Due to these advantages, the dye compounds of the present invention can find applications in various fields, for example, as probes for various biological systems where optical imaging is required. Particularly, the dye compounds of the present invention can be used as mitotrackers capable of labeling and tracking mitochondria. Therefore, the dye compounds of the present invention can be used to quantitatively image mitochondria in live tissues and cells. Furthermore, the dye compounds of the present invention can be applied as pH probes for measuring the pH of live cells.

Disclosed are analogues of trimethine cyanine dyes which are useful for imparting fluorescent properties to target materials by covalent and non-covalent association. The compounds have the following general formula: optionally substituted by groups R2-R9 wherein groups R6, R7, R8 and R9 are attached to the rings containing X and Y or, optionally are attached to atoms of the Za and Zb ring structures and groups R1-R9 are chosen to provide desired solubility, reactivity and spectral properties to the fluorescent compounds; A is selected from O, S and NR11 where R11 is the substituted amino radical: where R′ is selected from hydrogen, a C1-4 alkyl and aryl and R″ is selected from C1-18 alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, an acyl radical having from 2-7 carbon atoms, and a thiocarbamoyl radical; Za and Zb each represent a bond or the atoms necessary to complete one, two fused or three fused aromatic rings each ring having five or six atoms, selected from carbon atoms and, optionally, no more than two oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur atoms.
